Before the Snow

Early Winter – before the Snow

 

Here are twenty-five (25)  close-up photos of a few plants in the Gardens at Waters East taken just days before any snow had fallen. In another posting, once it snows, I will take a few more photos, showing close-ups of the snow on some of the same plants.

Enjoy the details in the plants, amazing even after the blooms have gone.

    1. Even when all the blooms are gone there is beauty in the many garden plants here. Your photos are always so wonderful, the detail, the colors, I appreciate your comments on my work. It will never be as good as yours - but I try.

    1. So true. I think it is so easy to miss all the detail that remains after a bloom. It is really a beautiful aspect of a flower long gone.
